Write an analysis of your multiple regression results for each research question.

You had the chance earlier in the course to practice with multiple regression and obtain peer feedback. Now, it is time once again to put all of that good practice to use and answer a social research question with multiple regression. As you begin the Assignment, be sure and pay close attention to the assumptions of the test. Specifically, make sure the variables are metric level variables. Part 1 To prepare for this Part 1 of your Assignment: Review this week 9 and 10 Learning Resources and media program related to multiple regression. Using the SPSS software, open the Afrobarometer dataset or the High School Longitudinal Study dataset (whichever you choose) found in the Learning Resources for this week. Based on the dataset you chose, construct a research question that can be answered with a multiple regression analysis. Once you perform your multiple regression analysis, review Chapter 11 of the Wagner text to understand how to copy and paste your output into your Word document. For this Part 1 Assignment: Write an analysis of your multiple regression results for each research question. In your analysis, display the data for the output. Based on your results, provide an explanation of what the implications of social change might be.

Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the income statement and balance sheet in reflecting the economic substance of this transaction and subsequent business activities using the equity method.

Question #1:

Below are two unrelated cases involving marketable equity securities. Explain how the information provided affects the classification, carrying value, and income reported for that company’s investment securities.

  1. The      balance sheet of a company does not classify assets and liabilities as      current and noncurrent. The portfolio of available-for-sale equity      securities includes securities normally considered current that have a net      cost in excess of market value of $2,000. The remainder of the portfolio has      a net market value in excess of cost of $5,000.
  2. A      company’s noncurrent portfolio of marketable equity securities consists of      the common stock of one company. At the end of the prior year, the market      value of the security was 50% of original cost, and this effect was      properly reflected in a Valuation Adjustment account. However, at the end      of the current year, the market value of the security had appreciated to      twice the original cost. The security is still considered noncurrent at      year-end.

Create a research question using the General Social Survey dataset that can be answered using categorical analysis.

As with the previous week’s Discussion, this Discussion assists in solidifying your understanding of statistical testing by engaging in some data analysis. This week you will once again work with a real, secondary dataset to construct a research question, perform categorical data analysis that answers the question, and interpret the results. Whether in a scholarly or practitioner setting, good research and data analysis should have the benefit of peer feedback. For this Discussion, you will post your response to the hypothesis test, along with the results. Be sure and remember that the goal is to obtain constructive feedback to improve the research and its interpretation, so please view this as an opportunity to learn from one another. To prepare for this Discussion: Review Chapters 10 and 11 of the Frankfort-Nachmias & Leon-Guerrero course text and the media program found in this week’s Learning Resources related to bivariate categorical tests. Create a research question using the General Social Survey dataset that can be answered using categorical analysis. By Day 3 Use SPSS to answer the research question. Post your response to the following: What is your research question? What is the null hypothesis for your question? What research design would align with this question? What dependent variable was used and how is it measured? What independent variable is used and how is it measured? If you found significance, what is the strength of the effect? Explain your results for a lay audience and further explain what the answer is to your research question.
